Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life.
But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

I know I shouldn't expect better from the big commercial publishers, but explaining to someone who cant afford an APC ways you can make an article OA (waivers, beg etc.) without ever mentioning green is unethical in my eyes.

While I'm sympathetic to the perspective of "give the garbage ChatGPT paper the grade it deserves," this really gets at the problem with that: writing is thinking and if we're not asking students to write, we're not asking them to think.
We don’t let elementary school kids use a calculator when learning arithmetic; we think they need to understand what’s going on. They eventually use calculators more effectively because they understand what’s going on!
I think that the undergraduate essay is where one learns what’s going on.

Well worth a read to the end.
The big mistake the brittle authoritarian reactionary version of masculinity makes is in believing courage is a physical quality, rather than a moral quality.

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for a US attack on My Lai, an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam.
But as the attack developed below, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else:
A massacre.
He decided to act. 1/28

Not to be corny but this seems like the decision of a lifelong public servant who decided to listen to the guidance of the people around him. It seems admirably humble to know and recognize your limitations.
